What I Have been Flying Recently

I had my first in-person games of Armada since last winter this past weekend and it inspired me to write a bit about what I have been flying and enjoying lately. I have been trying to play on vassal at least once a week for the last couple of months,

Armada

Objectives: Blue (Wave 1)

Objectives are one of the main game mechanics for Armada and choosing the right one can sometimes be a huge brain melter. The objectives that are used are the ones that the second player brings. The first player gets to choose from all three of the second player's objectives. Sometimes

Armada

Recusant First Impressions

The Recusant! The anticipation for this release was higher than any other in this wave. This ship is the most unique large base in the game, in my opinion. With its native evade and its sideways arcs, it has brought a SHIPload ;) of new hotness to the game. Just like

Providence First Impressions

The Providence(provi) is one of the coolest looking ships in the entire Star Wars lore, from its long pointed nose and mouth looking bit on the front to its (seemingly unprotected) observation deck elevated above the ship. I have now flown a provi a little less than a handful

Armada

Venator First Impressions

The Venator is why I fell in love with large-scale space battles as a kid, so I will try my best to be as objective as possible here. The Venator has been extremely fun to build and play thus far. It is the first non-huge ship in the game to

Pelta First Impressions

Let's start by saying I am not a huge fan of the rebel Pelta. It lacks speed, maneuverability, reliable firepower, and durability. I know many people love it for cheap fleet commands(IF!) and as an FCT squad pusher. Honestly, I don't think it's a bad ship. It just doesn't
